From the creators of Arrow comes The Flash, starring Grant Gustin as the titular hero, who is caught in a freak accident, which gives him the ability to move at superhuman speeds.

The Flash is developed by writer/producers Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Geoff Johns, to air on The CW. It is intended to be a spin-off to Arrow, existing in the same universe. The series was officially picked up on May 8, 2014.

The CW's "Arrow" spinoff "The Flash," starring Grant Gustin as the DC Comics superhero, will air Tuesdays at 8 p.m., the spot previously occupied by "The Vampire Diaries" spinoff "The Originals" (which moves to Mondays at 8 p.m.). "Supernatural," which enters its 10th season, will remain at 9 p.m., placing it up against the returning "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," which ABC has moved from its earlier slot.

I am woefully behind on Arrow. I haven't even seen the episode where Barry guest stars. But I am really looking forward to this. Arrow started out kind of blah but really found its footing and I think they learned from that with Flash. The trailer looks great. It seems to be a marriage between Arrow & Smallville.

Saw the first episode this morning, has some promise. That 'surprised appearance' felt out of nowhere. The ending was pretty surprising. I'm all for John Wesley Shipp acting again. Still feel bad that he was given such a small role on Teen Wolf, like they didn't know who he was or something.

I liked it a lot. Between Arrow, Agents of SHIELD, Gotham and itself, I think it was the best pilot of the current comic book show crop so far. (And I'd love to be surprised, but I doubt either Constantine or Agent Carter is going to do better.)

My only gripes were that Cisco was even more irritating here than he was on Arrow, where I found him pretty fucking irritating to begin with, and the choice to have Iris as someone Barry grew up with. Combined with her father being reimagined as a detective, it feels a little bit like a retreat of Arrow. Except the Lances (and the Merlyns) being part of Oliver's upbringing played into the plot in a big way, but aside from the references to being family, the Barry/Iris dynamic could have easily played the same way if she was just some junior reporter he met as an adult.

Also, I feel like the show missed an opportunity for a little tension by letting Detective West learn Barry is The Flash so quickly.

The Barry/Oliver exchange was cheesy as fuck, and I loved it. But then I always enjoy it when Oliver is being a dork. Stephen Amell plays it well.

I can already tell from the scene of Barry with his father in the prison that this show is going to destroy my emotions like Arrow does.

I do enjoy the father son relationship, that could be pretty great.

So Tom is probably Professor Zoom, right? I had thought that was a possibility until after the explosion. Then I came around again. That final scene changes everything!

I hadn't thought about how its another cop angle just like Arrow, nice observation! I thought the secret identity thing was pretty quickly undone. But I had also thought with his mask, it wasn't going to last that long.

I do like Mr. West, at least the actor since Ally McBeal days and then L&O
